LOCATION
1. Pump can be located at the well or can be offset some distance
away from the well. For best performance it should be located as
close to the well as possible.
2. Location can be in the basement, a watertight pit below ground, or
in a pump house above ground.
3. Ventilation and drainage must be provided to prevent damage from
moisture to the motor and pressure switch.
4. The pump and all piping must be protected from freezing.
5. Pump and pipe line must be drained when not in use if there is any
danger of freezing.
WELL CONDITIONS
1. Wells should be pumped clean of all sand and foreign matter
before installing the pump or damage may result to the operating
parts.
2. The well must be able of supplying enough water to satisfy the
capacity of the pump and water needs. The water level must not
draw down below the maximum rated suction lift of the pump or
loss of capacity and prime will result.
SUCTION LIMITATIONS
1. Shallow well installation is satisfactory where the suction lift is less
than 25 feet. Suction lift is the vertical lift plus losses due to friction
2. Suction lift varies depending upon elevation (altitude) and water
temperature.
PIPING
1. Plastic or galvanized steel pipe may be used in the installation.
Plastic pipe must have a minimum pressure rating 160 P.S.I. Gal-
vanized steel pipe must be in good condition free of rust and scale.
Threads should be sharp and cleanly cut.
2. Both the suction and discharge pipe should be no smaller than the
corresponding tappings of the pump (See Figure 1). If long runs
are encountered larger pipe should be used. Smaller pipe will
reduce the capacity of the pump.
3. All joints and connections should have pipe sealing compound
(male threads only) applied and drawn up tightly.
The entire system must be air and water tight for efficient operation.
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6 for typical installations. If galva-
nized pipe is used, both the suction and discharge pipe should be
supported at a point near the pump to avoid strains being placed
on the pump.
2. The suction pipe should slope upwards from the water source
to the pump. Locate the pump as close to the water as possible
keeping the suction pipe as short as conditions permit.
3 Avoid dips or pockets in offset piping or air will accumulate at high
points which will make priming difficult.
4. A foot valve located in the water or a check valve located as close
to the water as possible will reduce priming time of the pump and
help maintain prime. A strainer must be used on the suction line to
filter out dirt and debris.
5. Install a gate valve and union in the discharge line. For removal
of the pump for service, close the gate valve and disconnect the
union.
CAUTION
Do not use a globe valve or other restricting type of
valve at the discharge. This will seriously restrict the capacity of the pump.
